They seem marginally useful in the few situations you have a clear idea of when and from where the enemy will be coming and you’ll be defending that point for some time. But even in those situations, I’m not sure why I’d want mines over, say, Cluster Bomb or a Sentry.
I like to have a tesla tower and mines. Either they get zapped or blow up.
While that seems effective, it uses two stratagem slots where autocannon sentry or cluster bomb uses one.
Well yes, two strategems would use more slots than one strategem
I haven’t unlocked it yet but I was going to skip right to the incendiary one.
I figured they would be good for the defend escaping personnel missions. Area denial to keep the escaping non divers safe, or alight if the flaming creatures get too close.
Honestly, both are pretty bad. Better to invest in gattling and mortar turrets.
I unlocked it, I find it is good on the evacuate personnel missions. It locks down a single direction so the enemy is only coming from 3 directions.
One of the few gems I refuse to buy despite having 50k in requisition slips
I bought everything just to have them all. But it’s kind of a pain to have to scroll through all the trash to find what I want to equip.
